Can you keep a secret? (Justin Fanfic)

Chapter Nineteen. Just a headache

Once I got home it took me about 10 minutes to force myself to get out of the car and into the cold air. When I finally did it I had to carefully pick Noah up and take him inside without waking him which was hard because I couldn't stop shaking.

When I was inside I put Noah on the couch and went to walk upstairs but was stopped by mum.

"Why are you home so early? Why are you all wet? And why do you look like you're just going to ignore al these questions?" She said, blocking off the staircase.

I shrugged. "Not in the mood for this. I'm going to have a nice hot shower then i'm going to bed."

Mum sighed. "You're gonna have to tell me to get pass me to have a shower."

I rolled my eyes. "Fine here you go. I was talking on the phone while driving and I got a ticket. On top of that once we got to the zoo, the first thing Noah did was fall into the crocodile enclosure. I dived in after him and now am so cold that I will probably freeze into a human sized ice cube!"

Mum's eyes widened with shock. "Is he okay!?"

I nodded. "Yes, he is fine... Can I go have a shower now?"

Mum shook her head. "I can't believe you. For once I would just like a normal child... and yeah. Go have your shower, oh and we will have a talk about that ticket later."

I thanked her but rolled my eyes at the last comment she made as I pushed past her and walked to the bathroom.

Just as I stepped under the hot water I heard Noah crying down stairs which meant that I wouldn't be able to go to sleep when I got out. I know I had only gotten out of bed a few hours ago but I felt like jumping into bed and never waking up.

After about an hour there was a knock at the door. "JUSTIN! Get out of the shower! You've been in there for an hour!" Mum yelled.

I sighed. "Okay, okay i'm getting out." I yelled back and turned off the water and stepping out to put the towel around me.

I changed into my grey trackpants and hoodie and slowly made my way back downstairs to see Noah and mum. I fouond them both in the lounge room watching t.v. Well Noah was watching and mum was folding more laundry.

"Daddy!" Noah yelled and ran up to me and clung onto  my leg like he hadn't seen me for ages.

I laughed. "Are you alright baby?"

He shook his head. "My head hurts."

I sighed. "It's okay, i'll get you some panadol... maybe i'll have some too."

Mum followed us into the kitchen and poured panadol into the measuring cup for Noah. I just got a pain killer tablet from the first aid box and took it with some water.

"You got a headache to?" She asked me.

I nodded. "Yeah."

Mum bit her lip. "I hope you guys aren't getting sick. You said you both were in the water?"

"Yeah. He fell in the  crocodile enclosure and I dived in after him."

Mum shook her head. "Was the water dirty?"

I had to think back. "Um, just a little bit... I mean it was like river water."

Mum sighed. "Well just sleep on it and if you still feel bad in the morning we'll go to the doctor."

I shook my head. "I'm sure it's nothing. I'll be fine it's just a headache and i'm sure we are just getting colds."

Mum nodded. "Okay then. But tell me if you get any worse just in case you guys picked up something from the pond water."
